Subject: CONFIG_WLAN getting disabled - copy-list usage
Date: Mon, 02 Nov 2015 13:36:47 +0100	[thread overview]
Message-ID: <1446467807.3205.21.camel@sipsolutions.net> (raw)

FYI, if anyone's using backports with a copy-list file that restricts
the wifi drivers to their own, and is working against a recent tree
that includes the drivers/net/wireless/realtek/ move, then CONFIG_WLAN
will end up getting disabled.

To fix that for now modify your copy-list to include
drivers/net/wireless/realtek/Makefile (and that file only).

Once Kconfig changes go in and the Makefile statement

obj-$(CONFIG_WLAN) += realtek/

changes to

obj-$(CONFIG_WLAN_REALTEK) += realtek/

(or similar) this issue will go away.
